Curtis Further to Dwight's comments. We have a number of these at our club that participate in club races for the past 10 years. It is apparent which boats are well prepped and tuned and sailed due to as many as four at a time racing. Read up all you can on rig tune for teh 30. I may be remembering wrong but I think it likes a tight rig. Also - push the boat. It likes 15+ knots and that is its bread and butter for racing. Make sure you dont bleed off the power just wen the boat gets into its wind band. The 30-1 is not as copmpetitive in light winds but really flies in medium to heavier winds. Mike

What can be done to make it be more competitive? anybody want to share? The boat is new to me "well" a couple of years now but I think I would like to race a little but don't want to race a boat that cant win. Thanks for your help. Any advise would be great. -- "Sailors, with their built in sense of order, service and discipline, should really be running the world." - Nicholas Monsarrat
